Piano Letter Notes
Easy letter notes for beginners
Tuesday, January 23, 2018
Graze the Roof (Plants vs Zombies)
Quick guide on how to read the letter notes
Each group of letter notes is played from left to right, and vertical letters on the same column are played together.
The numbers in front of each line are the octave, each octave has an unique color so you can easily follow them.
Lowercase (a b c d e f g) letters are natural notes (white keys, a.k.a A B C D E F G ).
Uppercase (A C D F G) letters are the sharp notes (black keys a.k.a. A# C# D# F# G#), look at the image below to see where each letter note is on the piano keyboard.
The lines / dashes (-) between letters indicates timing to play the notes. Just listen to the audio file at the top of the post to figure out the time lenght of the dashes (usually 5-6 dashes is about 1 second)

Plants vs. Zombies piano versions #7: Sheet Music!
So as most of you know, I’ve been trying my best to post piano versions of the music from Plants vs. Zombies on youtube and I’ve been amazed at the response so far! I’m really happy to learn that there are so many people out there who can appreciate video game music, so thank-you all for the support and kind words. And if you haven’t gotten a chance, I hope you would subscribe to my channel ^_^
In the meantime, I’ve got something for you today: Since I’ve gotten literally thousands of requests for sheet music, some awesome folks have stepped up and transcribed sheet music for all of my piano videos 🙂 Thanks, you guys rock!
This set of transcriptions was done by Tobias Deussen from Germany. It has all 8 pieces: Brainiac Maniac (Dr. Zomboss), Cerebrawl, Choose Your Seeds, Grasswalk, Graze the Roof, Loonboon, Moongrains, and Watery Graves.
Pack of 8 pieces of sheet music in pdf
Ron Lester Crisostomo has also transcribed and uploaded a couple pieces of sheet music to scribd.com if you’d prefer to see them online:
Graze the Roof
Brainiac Maniac (Dr. Zomboss)
And lastly… I’m working on setting up a music store at bandcamp. Currently it has my old album and the first part of the Melolune soundtrack, but later I’ll be using it for the Plants vs. Zombies soundtrack.

Thanks for this! 😀 I’ve been wanting to learn by ear but it’s too difficult for me xD
Comment by puddinguin — September 3, 2010 #
No problem! I’m glad you’ll be able to learn the music now 🙂

Haven’t seen you talk about Melolune recently, how is it coming along?
Comment by allen — September 3, 2010 #
Hi allen, thanks for asking 🙂 It’s been going pretty well, but no matter how much time I spend working on it, it always feels like it’s moving so slowly (I supposed that’s how it is with rpgs though, hehe)… I’ve been wanting to update the thread at TIGsource, but since all I’ve really been doing is playing through and balancing the game I don’t really have anything interesting to update it with 😛

I guess the good thing is that it’s really is close to being finished. The ironic thing is that my biggest roadblock right now (besides a boss battle that’s malfunctioning) is the music! I have about 18 tracks to finish…

hi laura 🙂 im a real noob reading sheet music and it takes me forever to recreate this in flstudio…do you have by chance midi files at hand?
i should be punished for being that lazy, unskilled and bothering….gomeeeeeeeee.
❤ your site, songs and stuff you do.
greets from munich

Comment by krz9000 — September 3, 2010 #
Hi Chris, thank-you for your comment ^_^ Sorry, I don’t have the midi files for the piano versions… but if you’re stuck on the reading-party you can always go to the corresponding youtube video and watch/listen to how it’s played. I also suck at sight reading, so it’s much easier for me to learn by listening to the music or watching the person’s hands when they play the piano 😛 Let me know if you need the link for any piece in particular!
Comment by shigi — September 3, 2010 #
hi laura-san,
i found a way 🙂 thanks to ocr software even i was able to bring your sheets into midi:
i will post the other links tommorrow (i can only upload 3 files a day on that site).
you can spread these on remix sites…and maybe some crazy things start to pop up 🙂 (i will try to create some dubstep remixes out of your songs if i find the time).
have a sweet sunday
greets from munich
chris
Comment by krz9000 — September 5, 2010 #
Ah, that’s pretty cool! I had no idea there was a program out there that could read pdf sheet music and turn it into a midi… so high tech! That would be really neat to see some more PvZ remixes pop up on like overclocked or something. Anyways, thanks for letting me know, that’s really neat!
Comment by shigi — September 5, 2010 #
I use midi to reproduce it into a program called Synthesia that (Like I said) reproduces and shows the notes that are played, and also there is an option that is like guitar hero but with piano (thats pretty weird).
And If I’m bad writting really bad on english its because I talk spanish and I’m learning english.
Another thing is that I love your music (especially plants vs. zombies music).

Comment by shigi — September 4, 2010 #
laura, what are your favourite kind of music?
and your favourite food?
sorry but i want to know, im your fan, i have to know this things 
Comment by Nico — September 4, 2010 #
I listen to all different kinds of music; hip hop, r&b, pop, jazz, 80s, classical, video game music, you name it (I like stuff from almost every genre). My favorite food is probably pancheon (it’s the small side dishes that come with Korean meals… mostly pickled vegetables) or matcha-related foods (Japanese powdered green tea). I could probably list like 10 things though, haha 😛
Comment by shigi — September 5, 2010 #
This has officially made my day. I’ve been looking for sheet music for ages (I can’t play by ear at all) and to have this is just awesome! =]
Hey, do you reckon that you’ll ever upload a version of Ultimate Battle? I would love to hear a version of that, although it sounds as though it would be as hard to play as Brainiac Maniac.
Comment by AbandoningReality — September 4, 2010 #
I’m glad you’ll be able to put it to good use! I would love to do a version of Ultimate Battle… I can play it on the piano, but it doesn’t sound as cool (since the original arrangement has a ton of different melodies going on at once and I only have 2 hands, haha)… but I’m trying to work on putting something together that sounds good on the piano.
Comment by shigi — September 5, 2010 #
Hey Miss Laura. You’re piano skills are incredibly awesome. At a scale of 1 to 10 I give you an infinity to the enth power :3 Do you know where I can download Graze the Roof, Grasswalk, Cerebrawl and Moongrains in mp3 format safely! Btw I love the Zombotany unreleased music. I hope they release it in PvZ 2 :3
Comment by pengyzu — September 5, 2010 #
Hi pengyzu! I’ve actually been talking with PopCap for a very long time about getting their permission to release an official soundtrack. They’ve already drafted a contract, but their legal department needs to finalize it so that I can sign it. Once that’s taken care of, I can upload all the original mp3s from the game… I’ll let you know as soon as it’s online ^_^ (I feel like I’ve been waiting forever!)

Wow. I am loving these songs.
Do you by chance have the music that plays during the Zen Garden? That’s what I actually came to this site looking for and I would love it if you knew where I could get that music.
Else, I’ll have to just plunk it out by ear 🙂
Thanks!
Comment by Jane — September 7, 2010 #
Sebastian Wolff did some sheet music too, but I think Tobias covered them too.
He’s mainly a multimedia artist, but he’s quite talented at piano. He’s done lots of arrangements of pieces from games and movies, like this one 🙂
Comment by cloudbreath9 — September 12, 2010 #
oh and he also does some anime music arrangements, too! 😀
Comment by cloudbreath9 — September 12, 2010 #
Thank-you cloudbreath! Actually, I wrote about Sebastian’s sheet music on my blog a while back 🙂 He was one of the first people to make piano arrangements based off of the original in-game music (he contacted me shortly after PvZ was released)… I agree he’s a very talented pianist!
Comment by shigi — September 12, 2010 #
I’m writing to complement you on your PvZ soundtrack! I find it very catchy and I especially love the rooftop theme. It’s especially cool that you share the sheet music with the world and invite remixes – such a refreshing change from the rest of the music industry!
Ever heard of an electronica band called Shpongle? They’re a psychedelic/chillout/world music group who uses a lot of thoughtful minor chord progressions which remind me somewhat of these zombie themes. Check out one of their albums some time!
Thanks again for such a great soundtrack!

Can you post the sheet music for “Zombies on your Lawn?” I reeeeally really wanna learn that one.
Comment by DylanU — September 14, 2010 #
Yes, I would love that! Even if it were just the chords!
Comment by Desiree — September 24, 2010 #
I’m sending the sheet music over to my girlfriend’s younger sister. I’d love to see her play these in the middle of an anime convention or something. As for subscribing to YouTube, I’m right there, on the last page, subscriber number 22 out of 2018, so far. XD
Comment by aniki91344 — September 15, 2010 #
I want to thank you for sharing the sheet music (and thanks to Tobias for transcribing!). My son is learning to play piano, and he’s been searching for a recital piece. I had told him I doubted that the PvZ sheet music was available – it’s going to make him so happy when I tell him I found it. It also won’t drive me crazy to hear him practicing it, as some of the songs he picks are not ones I enjoy.
And I really appreciate your generosity, offering the entire collection at no charge. Very kind. 🙂
Comment by Truly Scrumptious — September 19, 2010 #
Hi Laura! Just happened to chance upon your website and discovered your piano versions of the PvZ music :3 Thank you so much for writing these pieces, particularly the Pool Level music ^_^ You have no idea how much time I spent in that level *sigh*

Comment by Tony — October 26, 2010 #
Hello Laura…if it is really you and not a zombie…I will not call myself a “fan” but I’m more so an admirer of your work. I’ve been wanting to compose music for video games for a long time, and hearing your music only fueled the flame that is my passion…or perhaps even a poison it has grown so intense.
I have a synth at my place, and have some very similar effects that you’ve used in the music for “Plants Vs Zombies”. I’ve learned to play (by ear) several sections of tunes, some even in different keys and in various harmonies as well as switching them up and playing them both in major keys and minor keys.
I had some questions, if you do not mind.
1. Is there a website that has download links to the music from the “Plants Vs Zombies” game?
2. On the roof level, I caught what sounds to be either latin/italian flare. It’s latin, correct?
3. Do you have a specific email adress I could use for contacting you? If it’s too personal or invasive of your time, I will not enforce you allow me to have it.
4. Would there be a way for me (if there is going to a sequal) to submit some of my ideas for music, zombies, plants (I have some sketches) or audition for voices of zombies? I’d love ot be the voice of my favorite Halloween creature.
Comment by Wendi — October 27, 2010 #
Thank you, I am a huge fan of your music. I will be nice to play it myself.
Comment by Bram — November 2, 2010 #
OMG thank you sho sho much! You’re AWESOME . Love all the themes from PVZ ❤
Comment by Jessie — November 16, 2010 #
Yes there are mistakes in transcription like the ones in Brainiac Maniac and Cerebrawl.

And Graze the Roof
Comment by Pie Lover — December 21, 2010 #
Great work! Looking over these the only suggestion I’d give you is to use key signatures! Also, I noticed you write in A Major a lot, don’t be afraid to mix it up! I look forward to hearing more (:

Comment by Germain — January 17, 2011 #
Hi Laura,
When I first looked up a piano version of the music for plants vs zombies, I found a video and your face popped up. I was like “she’s so cute!” Then you started playing and I was in heaven! When I first started playing the game, I was immediately drawn to the music first and foremost. The first stages of the game are very slow and you can’t help but be drawn into the music. I will be learning your music and adding it to my repertoire. When I find a piano in a mall or hotel or something, I’m going to play some of your songs because I love them and I would love to share your music with people who may not have played the game.

the music is awesome
and the game is so fun!

Hi Laura,
I want to ask you if you could post the sheet for Rigor Mormist (It’s my favourite) because in two months I’ll have a piano concert and I’d like to play it on it.
Thanks for posting the other ones. Now I’m learning Cerebrawl, it’s awesome!
Yours,
Alexis

Hey Laura!I’m a first time visitor of your website. I love the game Plants vs Zombies and I thought oneday that it would be nice to learn to play it on piano. I just hoped it would be easy, because I’m only third grade. I’m learning Cerebrawl right now and it’s awesome, I don’t think it will take me too long to learn it. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your job, 😛
Comment by Jessica Dooper — July 20, 2011 #
I’ve just bought the musics from your store and was trying to play Grasswalk watching your video. It would be easier now with the sheet. Thanks

We’re attempting to learn the jazzy portion of Nighttime in the Front Yard on alto saxophone. Anyone who can point us towards any sort of sheet music, even if it’s not for sax specifically, gets brownie points and a lifetime of adoration.
